It's really not hard man. im 16 no painting skills at all except like two bike frames its all about prep sand it down with some medium grit sandpaper. wash. wipe down with some alcohol. paint on two or three coats of adhesive promoter for plastics. spray on first caot sand with a finer sand paper repeat that step like four times and then just put a couple of coats of more aint on top and it should hold good mine has 7 coats of white and 10 clear! it looks mad cool in person like your looking into the plastics pretty dope. plastics are pretty expensive man im paying prob like 120 bucks for adhesive promoter white paint and clear coat for all of the plastics. just do it right the first time and you wont regret it later. plus i like the look of plainted plastic better than actual plastic more shine in my opinion and if worst comes to worst and it gets in bad shape which with 10 coats of clear i doubt anytime soon its gonna do anything sand down clear coat repaint a couple coats of white clear it brand new plastics again haha should try it out just dont overspray be cautious have patience.

yeah man id rather save the hassle of painting but that is just me. i can't stand painting lol im going to get used white rear fender and tank cover and just buy my front one as i want the race hood but its pretty hard finding used parts over here. i can get the new race hood for £150/$200 delivered and i can probably swap my blue plastics for the white rear set I:I
Update! my a-arms are gonna be chrome powder coated and my swinger is going to be polished! in a month or so i hope to start putting parts back on her.
